The two years, 2017 and 2018, has seen a mass movement of journalists and celebs moving to National and County governments in search of plum jobs. Surprisingly counties and national government have come to pouch the talent from news rooms and celebrity arena. It sounded like a perfect match when the deal was signed.

For journalists, most of them have been employed in the sector of communication, where they have been given a top managerial role to head the department. Perhaps to provide the link between the county and media, who intern tell the local people what has been happening.

1.Wallace Kantai

Top NTV business anchor moved to the Central Bank of Kenya, where he has been working as the Head of Communication, before he was a communication consultant at Wananchi Group

2.Allan Wanga

Allan Wanga , former Tusker Player has been appointed as the Director of Sports at Kakamega county, where he is also in the Homeboyz FC technical support team.

3.Jaguar

Jaguar aka Charles KanyI Njagua is now the current Starehe MP, His music career is not over yet, but his involvement in the art industry has gone down at a great level

4.KJ

Old fashioned comedian KJ aka John Kiarie ousted MP Dennis Waweru to become the current Dagoretti South MP in Nairobi County.

5.Chipukeezy

Jaguar, Starehe MP looks to have appointed comedian Chipukeezy as his right man, In many occasions, Chipuleezy looks like his MC guiding him through his protocols

6.Mohammed Ali

Fomer Investigative Journlist and Jicho Pevu founder Mohammed Ali is now the current Nyali MP  in Mombasa county on an independent ticket after defeating cousin to Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho

7.Carol Nderi

NTV reporter Carol has been appointed to head the department of Comminication in Nyeri County. She will no longer be on our screens

8.Kenny Kaburu

Pulse Journalist, will know be working for Tharaka Nithi county as a communication expert. He was then a long serving journalist at pulse magazine

9.Naisula Lesuuda

Naisula Lesuuda has been a long member of Senator after she left her job at KBC. She has been serving as a nominated senator for more than 5 revers now

10.Kennedy Muriithi

He will leave NTV to head a communication department at Meru County. Kenny was in the news when he was asked to identify himself using his second name by NASA co-principal Kalonzo Musyoka. Kalonzo then responded by telling him that his name had betrayed him.

11.Joy Doreen Biira

Long serving KTN anchor Joy Doreen Biira left KTN for a lucrative government job after she successfully applied and qualified for a slot at the Ministry of mining.

Still a communication expert, she has promised to help the youth and participate in their uplifting across the society.

Biira noted that she saw the job advert, applied and went on with the interview like other applicants, she was later informed that she had done well and emerged the best candidate

We wish her all the best

Last year, she was in the news for the wrong reason after it was alleged that Biira in company of her lover and other two had crossed a restricted zone of police, prompting their immediate arrest

12.Kanze Dena

Citizen TV bird anchor Kanze Dena is on her way to the top position of a deputy head of President’s Strategic Communications Unit (PSCU).

Kanze Dena appointment will be one of the major reshuffling of the State House communications department as the President gets his second term with four agenda mantra rolling.

In the same breathe,  Munira Mohamed would move straight to be presidential library boss and deputy head.

Among other well defined roles, Kanze Dena would be Deputy State House Spokesperson which will include digital, messaging, research, branding and press.
